@RnDanger@tess that's a good idea, «How much care goes into avoiding strain on the affected part.» as a gauge of the pain (at least where possible, so not for teeth abscesses, probably, but now that you make me think about it it's probably why I decided to go get an Xray of the wrist when I fell down skating).
@oblomov@tess When they ask me my pain level i consider what I'm actually doing to avoid pain, because I'm really good at avoiding pain as long as i don't have to do life things. Like when I'm at the doctor instead of at work. I can devote my entire attention to diminishing the pain response and think I'm fine when clearly I'm not. I'm not fine, or i would have brought myself to the doctor, actually
@tess I think I'm in a similar situation concerning pain levels (at least according to the opinions of my doctor and my dentist), but I don't do contact sport. Can I use that as an excuse now?

The year's first Monday, come and gone. Today's walk featured a couple neat little fungi friends under a pale sky. Love where I live. #fungiverse #lichensubscribe #nature #awalkaday #pnw #fungi #mushrooms
